PlanRadar’s software enhances fire safety management

PlanRadar, a digital platform for construction, real estate, and facilities management, has been adopted by Fire Integrity, a UK-based fire safety and passive fire protection service provider.

The software aims to improve operational efficiency, project management, and documentation for Fire Integrity’s principal contractors.

The adoption is expected to streamline surveys, installations, and reporting, addressing key challenges in fire safety checks and compliance.

Responding to UK fire safety regulations

The adoption of PlanRadar’s platform aligns with the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act 2022.

It helps maintain a robust digital record, achieving the ‘Golden Thread’ of information.

Rob Norton, PlanRadar UK Director, commented on the partnership: “Fire safety is under the microscope, with watertight inspection processes and thorough reporting non-negotiable.

“Fire safety surveying can be incredibly labour-intensive and requires the highest levels of accuracy.

That’s why we are working closely with Fire Integrity to develop one of the most comprehensive fire safety documentation management platforms on the market, constantly updating it through a raft of enhancements.”

Benefits and improvements from the software

Fire Integrity’s Technical Director, Chris Payne, highlighted the inefficiencies of previous platforms: “The previous platforms we used were inefficient, especially in the seamless transfer of on-site data to back-office systems, which was sluggish, long-winded and open to error. PlanRadar’s solutions have been a breath of fresh air.

“They understand the pain points for our clients and have created software that helps manage vast amounts of data with ease.

“Importantly, it’s helped our clients with reporting and documentation management, which can cause real administrative headaches without the right systems in place.”

The software simplifies tasks, reducing time and resources spent on creating detailed fire safety reports and managing documentation.

It allows team members to record voice notes or use in-app bespoke fire safety reports based on collected data, such as fire risk assessments, surveys, safety checklists, EWS1 forms, and passive fire protection needs.

Comprehensive solution for Fire Integrity

PlanRadar stood out for its ability to offer a comprehensive solution for Fire Integrity’s extensive needs, including survey work, record-keeping of remedial work, and generating reports for stakeholders and C-Suite team members.

Payne concluded: “PlanRadar will transform our operations for the better.

“This innovative tool promises to eliminate many of the frustrations we’ve previously faced, meeting our immediate needs and significantly boosting productivity and efficiency as we continue to grow.”
